In My Mailbox (3)

I am so blessed to be posting another IMM this week, since I have yet to ever post an IMM regularly. I got a great amount of treats in my mailbox this week, thanks to generosity of my boyfriend, my book blogger buddies and a publisher!

By Fire, By Water by Mitchell James Kaplan

The author of this particular novel emailed me a while back with a review request. The premise of the novel intrigued me and I accepted the request. His publisher, Other Press, was kind enough to send me a copy. I'm definitely reading this one soon!

Saving June by Hannah HarringtonCatching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally

I was ecstatic when these two books came in the mail, mostly because they're both novels that have been getting a lot of great reviews from book bloggers who have similar tastes as me. I'd like to thank the girls behind Books to the Sky, Jenny & Kaitlin, because I won their Black Friday giveaway contest and now have these two awesome books in my hands.

13 by Jason Robert Brown & Dan Elish

My boyfriend certainly knows the way to my heart (or one of them anyway). He loves ordering books for me and they arrive in the mail when I least expect them. The show 13, by the incredible Jason Robert Brown, is a common favorite between us so this book had me jumping up and down when I got it!

Matched by Ally Condie

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan

A cute bookmark

A lovely card

Hershey's Kisses

I also received another awesome surprise this week from my Broke & Bookish Secret Santa, Joli of Actin' Up with Books, who is now a new book blogging friend. Her card was really sweet, and I loved the Kisses and the cute bookmark. And I was so psyched when I saw she'd gotten me a copy of Matched & The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Both books have been on my list for so long - and now I finally have them, thanks to her. Thank you so much Joli! <3

Oh! By Fire, By Water! I've had that book on my pile (God, that is like, my personal catchphrase) for AGES. You'll have to tell me what you think of it when you get a chance to read it. Saving June and Catching Jordan were both soo good. Saving June has a road trip, which I LOVE and Catching Jordan has a tomboy and football. Yay! Enjoy them. And Hooray for your Secret Santa! That's some great stuff!

Looks like you had some amazing surprises in your mailbox! :) And it is so sweet that your boyfriend just orders books for you! I will have to show mine this post ;) I have heard nothing but good things about Catching Jordan, am planning to read it soon :) Hope you enjoy them all!
